Oh my, previous posters... This is what denny wants to know, what in demand items should he be making as to turn the most profit out of making them. Not any one type of item, just a broad spectrum of items, that he can put on a vendor.

There are so many gimp templates right now and all the weps ppl are using are different. It all depends on what each persons preferance is ... esp for PvP....
The weps I make for people are always different, unless they are in the same guild running the same template. Same with jewels.

Always keep in mind, most who want imbued items are of the serious variety competitor. They are out to get the last ounce they can from gear. I saw a bard mage ring imbued today:
Provo 9
mage 8
fc1
fcr1
lrc 14
I imagine they got it as loot, and upped it, or made it lower intensity due to materials. But with a 3 mil tag on it, I wouldn't wipe with this thing. Keep the intensities in the range people would look for.

I have an evil orc helm now with 10 to strength already.
My good friend added 18 lrc, 1 mana regen, and upped the resists to quite respectful numbers. Cost to imbue was negligible, no real fancy ingreds, but a fine crafter's wear indeed. He has been selling them for 200k, and can't keep them on a vendor.

A fellow got the idea to do smith gloves. Great. But doing it on +1 and +3 gloves, leaving resists and durabilty standard, and 140 luck? No lrc, no mana, no nothing. When I am mining and run afoul of a reaper, I have never wished for more luck.
Lesson: Think about who would buy it, and what they would need from it.

Bows are a little easier.. you make a bunch with 40 lightning, 40 HLD, Balanced, SSI 30, enhanced to 40 SSI, 20 DI... sell them for a few mil a pop. For PvP bows arent any good unless they have 35-40 SSI. Maybe 30 ssi if the person you're making the bow for has a +5 ssi ring.

Yeah, but if hes asking about things he can sell, its going to be very hard because most imbued items are tailor made to fit a suit.

Which is why i didn't really emphasise intensity % only skill and stat ideas for general items one could sell. A good working example of ones wares on a vendor that a regular person can afford, could also get the attention of a custom buyer.

I will tell you honestly and anyone looking to sell imbued items.. its getting cheaper and cheaper to make them.. I sell weapons for roughly 2-4mil a pc to guildies and non guildies.
There are bows on a vendor in Luna for 9mil, I dont know if they are selling, but if they are, good for that guy... they're all the same mods...

how bout bard/tamer jewels i see alot of one-sided template jewels.
i myself am looking for vet/disco stuff.
and yeah i dont see many slayer weps being imbued is it hard to craft or get the ingredients.
i know i have also sat at the bank looking for a legend imbuer for custom stuff but no-ones around. i thought maybe they would be in ter mur but its empty there due to home soul-forging. anyone tried to new system on TC to see what arties can be imbued?

As far as I can see, theres no real market for imbued items of any nature.. Peoples suits are geared to near-uniqueness. Rings with 15 mage, 25 ep, 0/3, 6lmc, 8 dci, are becoming more and more typical, but even then, people would rather just make them for themselves..

The only stuff I could REALLY see worth trying to sell for any real money, would be bows that are already enhanced..
Nobody wants to dump the resources into them just to break them off..
lightening,
velo,
di,
ssi
balanced is the most common setup. build them and enhance them for more SSI and THAT will sell..

Mage weap 20+ dci weapons too (twinky).. Its not like you can just walk out and make one of these any old time you feel like it..
